7 questions on service apps & e-commerce. Each answer starts with the bottom line, then gives the condition or detail that changes it, and every question has its own link to copy and send. Where the answer turns on your own papers, you will find a button to ask about your case.
That depends on what the app actually does, the scope of the document and any sector licences. A freelance document may cover a suitable online activity, but on its own it does not allow you to recruit workers or carry on every kind of activity.

Not necessarily; it depends on the service. Licences exist for specific activities, and having an app does not make you subject to all of them. Registering as a technology establishment is a separate service, currently described as optional, and it does not replace any sector licence you are required to hold.

Terms of use, contracts with service providers, a privacy policy, and payment, cancellation and complaints terms, shaped to how the app operates. Together they must make clear who the contracting parties are, the prices, each side's obligations, the data handled and the licences the activity requires.
